19 man squad for Catalans Saturday : Thu Aug 16, 2018 11:19 am  

Wigan Warriors have named their 19-man squad for Saturday’s Betfred Super League Super 8s round one clash against Catalans Dragons, kick-off 5.30pm (UK time).
Shaun Wane makes one change to the 19-man squad that was announced for last week’s clash with Castleford Tigers, with Craig Mullen included at the expense of Josh Woods.
After making his Warriors debut in his side’s win of the Tigers, Oliver Partington is contention once again, as is fellow Academy forward Samy Kibula.
Chris Hankinson (eye), Sean O’Loughlin (leg), Taulima Tautai (suspension), Oliver Gildart (thumb), Liam Farrell (shoulder), Liam Paisley (ankle) and long-term absentee Joe Burgess (knee) miss out for Wigan.
19-man squad for Catalans Dragons: John Bateman, Tony Clubb, Tom Davies, Morgan Escare, Ben Flower, Joe Greenwood, Gabe Hamlin, Willie Isa, Samy Kibula, Tommy Leuluai, Liam Marshall, Craig Mullen, Romain Navarrete, Oliver Partington, Sam Powell, Dan Sarginson, Ryan Sutton, Sam Tomkins, George Williams.

There’s an injury doubt over Isa and Hamlin so you’d guess Kibula will cover Hamlin and Mullen will cover Isa.

We should play KIbula anyway. Against Cats we'll need size, Samy has it and we should use his size and skill.

How much have you seen of him? Loads of talent, a very good ball handler BUT a lazy defender and doesn't carry the ball often enough IMO.

With Wane mentioning Manfredi could return v Saints, who do you think he'll replace?

Only seen him on Wigan tv Brian.
Seen these remarks you make before and there is only one way to sort it and that is to throw him in and give him plenty responsibility.
Either he shows willing and gives it a very good go or he doesn't and then he's deciding his own future.
He has the size and skills but if he's not interested in upping his game then that will always be a problem.
Thought he'd signed a new deal recently so he's here for a while if so. Chance therefore to develop him and for Samy to improve to SL level.

Marshall. Davies to left wing, Dom back in on the right.

Marshall still makes too many errors which cost us points

I agree. Then with a fit Manfredi and a returning Burgess it will be interesting who gets the wing spots.
